    ARFD DISPLEASED WITH THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS IN ARMENIAN-TURKISH RAPPROCHEMENT PROCESS

    ArmInfo. ARF Dashnaktsutyun is displeased with the latest developments
    in the Armenian-Turkish rapprochement process, says the press service
    of the party.

    The package of documents aimed at developing Armenian-Turkish relations
    means that Armenia and the Armenian people have entered a new stage
    fraught with numerous risks. ARFD has warned of them from the very
    beginning. The party believes that Armenia and Turkey, as neighbors,
    should take steps to normalize their relations but good neighbor
    relations between Armenia and Turkey can be established only when
    Turkey recognizes the Armenian Genocide and restores the rights of
    the Armenian people.

    ARFD says that the establishment of diplomatic relations without
    preconditions and the opening of the border are just the first
    steps to this end. Armenia's proposal to establish relations without
    preconditions is a huge concession as it is. ARFD does not accept
    normalization at the expense of existence of sovereign and viable state
    and the national rights of the future generations. Turkey has placed
    this process at the service of its own interests and is speaking with
    Armenia in language of open and hidden preconditions.

    "It is obvious that the published documents contain the well-known
    conditions of the Turkish party, particularly, the fact of the Armenian
    Genocide is doubted, and the Armenian people's rights having no period
    of limitations are being brought to naught", the statement stresses.

    Furthermore, ARFD thinks that after publishing the specified documents
    Turkey continues repeating its third precondition at the official
    level, i.e. Ankara will take no steps contradicting the interests of
    Azerbaijan, "that is it continues conditioning the Armenian-Turkish
    process by the Karabakh problem".

    ARF Dashnaksutyun continues insisting that the foreign policy of
    Armenia deviated from the national state line and the forecasted
    processes may lead to irreversible consequences. "We call on
    the Armenian society, political forces of Armenia to correctly
    assess the process of normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations,
    possible negative consequences and rule out any possible irreversible
    consequences by maximal solidarity",- the statement says.
